While Marvel Studios has officially confirmed 27 actors for the Avengers: Doomsday, ongoing rumors suggest that Halle Berry’s Storm could be a last-minute addition to the film. The recent reveal of Avengers 5’s cast interestingly left out some big names, including Tom Holland (Spider-Man), Benedict Cumberbatch (Doctor Strange), Mark Ruffalo (Hulk), and Elizabeth Olsen (Scarlet Witch), among others.
Additionally, the inclusion of legacy X-Men characters, like Sir Ian McKellen’s Magneto and Alan Cumming’s Nightcrawler, has fans wondering if more mutants would show up in the movie than the roster currently promised by Marvel. If present speculations are to be believed, Halle Berry could be one of the original X-Men cast members to reprise her iconic role of Ororo Munroe in the forthcoming Russo brothers’ directorial venture.
Halle Berry’s Storm could also join Avengers: Doomsday’s cast
According to @MyTimeToShineH, Halle Berry will make an appearance in the highly anticipated Avengers: Doomsday. The renowned internet scooper took to X (formerly Twitter) to share an update about the cast of the upcoming Avengers sequel, noting, “Halle Berry’s Storm will return in ‘AVENGERS DOOMSDAY.’”
The Monster’s Ball star first donned the mantle of Storm in 2000’s X-Men and went on to portray the character in several of the franchise’s sequels. Her last big-screen appearance as the powerful weather manipulator came in 2014 when she made a brief cameo in Bryan Singer’s X-Men: Days of Future Past.
Halle Berry has also hinted at her possible return as Storm in Avengers: Doomsday in an earlier interview. While speaking with ComicBookMovie.com’s Josh Wilding in September 2024 about her role in the horror flick, Never Let Go, the actress shed light on whether she’ll be coming back in Avengers 5 or Avengers 6. Although she did not outright confirm her participation in the project, Berry did not disregard the notion either and instead stated, “You never know. We’ll find out!”
With a plethora of MCU mainstays missing out on a nod in the Avengers: Doomsday cast reveal, fans expect Marvel to do another round of announcements in the coming months, which could include Halle Berry’s Storm. Nevertheless, Marvel has yet to share an official word on her recruitment.
